Three-day DDoS attack on Monobank is over

On Monday, August 19, at two o’clock in the morning, the DDoS attack on Monobank stopped. It lasted for three days.

One of the bank’s co-founders, Oleg Gorokhovsky, wrote about this on Telegram.

During this time, the bank received more than 7.5 billion requests.

"We have not slowed down or stopped serving customers for a minute. I am very grateful to our IT team and everyone who expressed words of support and offered help," Gorokhovsky noted.

A DDoS attack is an attack on an institution’s computer systems with the aim of disrupting access to a resource. During an attack, so many external requests are created simultaneously that the attacked system is unable to process them. Consequently, failures occur.
